Why Did You Wear That: F*ck It. We’re Done with Pants.

By admin|October 2nd, 2014|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

Celebrities just can’t seem to keep their pants on and this time it doesn’t involve hacked photos, the iCloud, or Miley Cyrus. This past week alone, a slew of celebrities have forgone covering up their bits and pieces by wearing barely there ensembles leaving very little to the imagination. From Miranda Kerr to Cara Delevigne, sheer panels gave us peeks at their toned thighs, tummies, and places Pilates pays off. Even North West got in on the action while accompanying mom, Kim, to the Givenchy show in Paris. Why shouldn’t a toddler have a custom creation when sitting front row at Paris Fashion Week? Step your game up Gymboree. This nearly nude trend is nothing new though, as we saw here on Erin Fetherston two Octobers ago.

But before you figure me for head conductor of the Hater Express, let us take a moment to recall when I wore this For Love & Lemons dress sans pants last winter. Brrr. While, part of me fears for humanity’s eyesight as we all know that once something is worn by a Kardashian, it’s basically considered mainstream and one can expect to see it in every mall in America, there are some upsides to this trend. One such silver lining is an opportunity to showcase those Barry’s Bootcamp legs you shelled out $30 a pop for. Another, of course, is good ventilation, which we all know aids in the prevention of the epidemic known as thigh chafing. Lastly, pants are just a hassle anyway. The first thing I do when I get home is remove them, so let’s just cut out the middle man and stop wearing pants all together. F*ck it.

Setting the Mood: White Heat

By Kirsten|July 8th, 2013|Setting the Mood|

Halfway through summer and all the way to the top of the thermometer. The July heat is nearly unbearable and it’s those humid days where it feels as if anything heavier than a tissue would be too much to wear. While a New Yorker’s standard uniform seems to be perpetually black, reversing roles in all white seems to lighten things both literally and figuratively. Ivory, bone, eggshell, and stark white in linen, lace, crochet and chiffon will keep you cool and cool you down.

Why Did You Wear That: One Piece of Advice

By Kirsten|June 11th, 2013|Why Did You Wear That?|

Often times, a one piece bathing suit is something that conjures up nostalgic thoughts of Annette Funicello the Big Kahuna, and well, the Golden Girls. But the one piece has come a long way, baby. Once the modest uniform of the swim team, the one piece has become sometimes sexier than your skimpiest of itsy bitsy bikinis. With plunging v-necks, racy cutouts, and all but there backs, there is a one piece to enhance and disguise just about any figure. So, whether you are simply parading poolside before a sunset swim (because the only downside of a singular suit is the tan lines) or you happen to be hiding a trouble spot, a one piece bathing suit is a must for every beach bound babe this summer.

Styling Tip: a one piece bathing suit doubles as a super chic body suit with jeans or denim shorts and heels for post pool dinner and dancing.

Friday Frocks: The Perfect Coverup

By Kirsten|May 24th, 2013|Friday Frocks|

Almost as important as that bikini is how you choose to transport yourself from Point A to your final destination. The coverup should be chicer than throwing on a pair of Soffe shorts and tank. Put a little pride in your poolside presence by picking out a coverup that could easily be mistaken for a frock. In my experience, poolside rose often leads to post beach cocktails and oysters and sometimes even a little bit of table dancing… but maybe that’s just me. Anyway, just make sure your coverup continues to be sexy, not soggy after a long day of fun on in the sun.
